MIT's inconvenient scientist

Here's the kind of information the ``scientific consensus" types don't want you to read. MIT's Alfred P. Sloan professor of meteorology Richard Lindzen recently complained about the ``shrill alarmism" of Gore's movie ``An Inconvenient Truth." Lindzen acknowledges that global warming is real, and he acknowledges that increased carbon emissions might be causing the warming -- but they also might not.
``We do not understand the natural internal variability of climate change" is one of Lindzen's many heresies, along with such zingers as ``the Arctic was as warm or warmer in 1940," ``the evidence so far suggests that the Greenland ice sheet is actually growing on average," and ``Alpine glaciers have been retreating since the early 19th century, and were advancing for several centuries before that. Since about 1970, many of the glaciers have stopped retreating and some are now advancing again. And, frankly, we don't know why."

It is certainly possible that the icecap has come and gone many times over hundreds of thousands of years," Mote, a climatologist, said in a statement.
"But for temperate glaciers, there is ample evidence that they are shrinking, in part because of warming from greenhouse gases."
Unlike mid-latitude glaciers, which are warmed and melted by surrounding air in the summer, the disappearance of Kilimanjaro's ice is driven by solar radiation, since the air around it is rarely above freezing, they wrote.
SO these geniuses admit that this is happening, but that it is an anomoly amongst all the other glaciers in the world. What ever happened to the scientific approach ?? This is the scientific world's equivalence to "Revisionist History" !!

Embedded Blogger returns to Alaska !!!

Did Global Warming help destroy homes back in '69 ??
Yes, the Grand master Blogger (G #2) has requested more info on the "Carbon Neutral" State known as ALASKA.
Once again I travel along the Coastal bike trail along Anchorage and stopped by "Earthquake Park"
Just outside of downtown, Earthquake Park commemorates the 1964 Good Friday Earthquake - the most powerful tremor ever recorded in North America. See where huge tracts of land slid into the inlet, destroying 75 homes. Downtown at The Alaska Experience Center a movie presentation of the 1964 earthquake is shown year-round, (ref http://www.anchorage.net/492.cfm
Now this park has of info on a bunch of monuments and pertaining to the 75 homes destroyed. They say that the homes where built on a bluff which was supported by a large clay sediment layer that was deposited by glaciers 15-30 thousand years ago!!!
Now wait a minute, I thought that "Global Warming" was a new thing?!?!?!

Isn't this in Senator Clinton's district??? "Holy Batshit, Batman", now we know why the glaciers are melting!!
